Authors: Cabalin, Gesu Emer G.
Abstract: The Philippine National Police, the country’s law enforcement agency, is in-charge of solving different crime related situations such as the hostage taking crisis. Public perception to PNP’s strategies against such situation will affect the agency’s credibility and reputation. These two elements are important for these will have impact to the public’s trust and cooperation with PNP which is pertinent for the agency’s daily operations. Since there are different ways on how the public witness a hostage taking situation, perceptions of people could differ.
This descriptive research study determines the perception of the public to the strategies of PNP against hostage taking. It is achieved by identifying some strategies against hostage taking in terms of planning, management, communication and post-assault plan and knowing if PNP does these strategies during actual hostage taking based on public perception. Measurement of the perception of people who actually witnessed the hostage taking and those who watched i t through television will be compared. A separate measurement will also be done to determine public’s perception to the over-all strategies of PNP against hostage taking. The objectives of the study will be accomplished through content analysis to different sources of hostage taking strategies and survey questionnaires to the public.
The research revealed that the hostage taking strategies covered by the study are all done by PNP during actual hostage taking. Public perceptions to these strategies were regarded by the respondents to be positive. That is, the public perceives these strategies to be effective. When the strategies were grouped into four divisions according to the stages that PNP undergoes during the actual hostage taking, the planning stage were perceived by the respondents to be highly positive. PNP was highly effective in activating a group that is in-charge of handling the hostage taking situation along with its sub-groups assigned to perform a specific task. This is followed by the post-assault plan stage which was perceived by the respondents as positive. PNP has effectively executed the steps to be done after the hostage taking situation. The management and the negotiation stage have obtained the lowest score compared to the four stages. But still, people perceived these two stages to be positive. These stages are crucial for the success of the outcome of the hostage situation. PNP has also effectively carried out these strategies well that is why the hostage taking situation’s result was a success.
The study proved the significance of media’s role during hostage crisis. People who have witnessed the actual hostage taking gave higher scores compared to people who have seen it through television. There is a significant difference of perception to the PNP’s strategies between the two groups. PNP should also consider the media during a hostage taking crisis because it could affect how the people would perceive the effectiveness of the agency’s strategies. Lastly, majority of the respondents’ score to the over-all strategies of PNP against hostage taking range from neutral, positive and highly positive. Results show that the public seems to have a good perception to the strategies of PNP against hostage taking.2012-03-01T00:00:00ZStructural characteristics and internal communication of an established and a start up theater group.http://dspace.cas.upm.edu.ph:8080/jspui/handle/123456789/291

Both organizations have similarities as well, such as the position’s responsibilities and task within the organization.There were also arising issues with how the older theater manages the group, as it was revealed that start up theater was a breakaway group from established theater.

Title: Living the brand: an exploratory study of brand-supporting behaviors among selected employees of organization X,
Authors: Villanueva, Arlet Carvajal
Abstract: Drawing inspiration from Loyalty, Compliance, Voice and Neglect (LCVN) Model and Attribution of Motives for Extra-role Behaviors, this study explores how selected employees of Organization X support the brand through brand consideration, exerting extra initiative and effort when engaging in brand-related behaviors, and brand endorsement even to non-work related situations. Moreover, it explores which is more influential between brand-centered activities, and identification and internalization in helping employees support the brand. The LCVN model and attribution of motives for extra-role behaviors are used as framework in analyzing the data constructed through interview with 10 selected employees of Organization X. Findings reveal that employees are either intrinsically or extrinsically influenced to support the brand through brand patronage, brand endorsement, brand consideration, and work improvement. Furthermore, employees conceptualize the brand as their employer or as their products. Employees find it usual to support the brand because of ethical reasons. Implications related to utilization of compensation, benefits; career growth programs, brand-centered hiring, and involvement of the employees’ family in some company programs are discussed.2012-04-01T00:00:00ZRelationship between corporate lies and motivation in company X.http://dspace.cas.upm.edu.ph:8080/jspui/handle/123456789/289
